Original Model 75 Info Required

[Andy_Chezz]

I have just purchased a Model 75 for Bell target. It appears to be complete minus the manual.

Does anybody know where I can get a copy of any paperwork that was supplied when the rifle was new?

There is quite a collection of front diopter parts, and I was hoping that the manual might shed a little light on what some of the "extra" bits are for

Thanks in Advance,

Andy

Hi
Sorry to hijack the thread but I'm still clutching at straws to recover my wifes old 75, if yours is, or you ever come across a very short stock 75 with the trigger shortened back towards the grips, stock with national squad and international weapons check stickers, if its the "one" I'd be glad to buy it back at a premium.

Thanks for the exploded view Jim.

That has certainly helped with working out the front diopter parts.

I will print it out tomorrow evening and check I have all the parts shown.

Thanks Again,

Andy.

Hi Robin,

No problem with Hijacking the thread.
My 75 came from your neck of the woods but is completely standard I'm afraid apart from being a left hander, so it isn't the one you are looking for.

I will keep an eye out for any unusual ones. Was it stolen at some point in the past, or was it an "I wish I hadn't sold that"?

Thanks Andy
No it was'nt stolen, we sold it, she changed to an LGR in '81 and the 75 was sold, back then it was just a rifle that had been superceded, but now although she still shoots with an LG300, she still has her LGR, and the old 75 would be another piece of nostalgia as it was the rifle that took her up to international standard. I traced it recently through two buyers but then lost track, its probably sat gathering dust somewhere.
Good shooting
Robin

You don't want mine, you want Dave's. His is more acurate, or is it just that he is a better shot...

You just need to learn the proper care and feeding.

Oh and standing still holding a chuffing heavy rifle
